Indeed! If this isn't common sense then I don't want to be sensible.
“And [Judah] turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?…And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt”

What I'm saying is;

common sense and being excellent to each other existed before and outside of religion. The difference between common sense / morality and religion is the stuff like burning harlots, stoning unbelievers etc.

Given that the good stuff can exist without religion, then all religion brings to the party is a belief framework that justifies violence and subjugation.

tl;dr religion is wank

You're welcome.
I thinks it's good to mix it up a bit, otherwise it's just a bunch of people trying to out cool each other, and there's nothing duller than that.

Apart from correcting typos, obviously.

I think it brings more than that to many frightened people..
Like any belief that there is good in the world it can bring comfort to those who otherwise would be fucked. This is probably why religion was accepted by the masses when it was devised as a way of subjugating them.
Either way, in the end they're still fucked.
